China and Indonesia conducted joint naval exercises in waters off Jakarta, Beijing said on Sunday, as the two countries work to improve trust and cooperation amid tensions in the South China Sea.

The drills, which took place on Saturday morning, were part of the PLA Navy’s annual training programme, the defence ministry said.

China’s Liuzhou and Suqian guided-missile frigates joined Indonesia’s KRI Usman Harun frigate and KRI Halasan missile craft in the exercises, which included communication drills, search and rescue operations and formation manoeuvres, it said.

“China’s military exchanges are just optics,” said an official from Indonesia’s Ministry of
Defense. “They don’t care about building capability, which is what we care about. We don’t like
to spend our money to pay for courses in China, when we end up gaining nothing from them.”
